That sounds like something that Cobra Commander of G.I. Joe fame would use to try and take over the world: "And if the United Statessss does not give in to our demandssss, we will blanket the entire country with... SPACE SNOW! Mwahahahahaaaaa! Hssss! It's probably radioactive or something! Hahahahaaaa!" Space snow. That sounds like something that Cobra Commander of G.I.

It's amazing to see so clearly that if I lived half an hour east I wouldn't have to deal with this mess. Maybe that's why nobody in New Haven has ever heard of rock salt. Wow.

Any resemblance to the Atlantic shoreline is just the Face on Mars thing again- heck, I've got an opal in matrix that looks just like NJ- measured not in carats but in exits.

I have to laugh that the weather forecasts here tend to say snow north and west of the NJ turnpike but as you can see from space, that's true! Can also see the lake effect clouds in NY.
